Im supposed to be section leader but......
This will be my third year of marching band. i'm a senior now so I can be section leader. I have had the most experience marching out of my whole section. I have the most commitment to the band and I can march better beacause of my experience. I have waited for this opportunity since I started. But there is this other senior who is only starting his second season and he is acting like he is section leader because my former section leader (who does not have the power to make him leader by the way) gave him tips and stuff and made him leader. Now he is taking over my power and brainwashed the freshmen and our sophomore into thinking hes leader. I don't see why he should be leader. I'm trying to get my power back but I've been ignored ever since my former leader came to rehearsal. How should I get my respect back and be the leader I always wanted to be? (P.S sorry that this is long but I got alot to complain about)

It sounds to me like you're more deserving of being leader than this guy, considering the fact that you've been there longer and have more experience/commitment. You need to talk to the leader of the whole thing. There's someone above all of you, I'm sure. Tell them that you've been there longer and have put more into it and that you feel you're more deserving of being the leader than the other kid.
Then try to make a name for yourself at practices. Be louder, be more energetic, and be friendlier. People will start seeing you as a leader if they see how serious you are about it and that you're ready to take the leadership role. Don't let him take over. Talk over him, talk more than him, and talk better than him.
People may have ignored you thus far, but give them something they can't ignore. Try talking to some of them one on one and letting them get to know you better. Once they know you and your commitment, they will look to you for leadership more and more often.
